The Small Festive Hamper is only small in comparison to our Large Festive Hamper - packing in over 800g of the good stuff! The Small Festive Hamper includes a selection of cheeses from some of our favourite cheesemakers, as well as a pack of award-winning Peter's Yard Crackers and an award-winning Quince Fruit Cheese from Tracklements.
Inside each box, you'll also find collectible cards for each cheese, including information about the cheesemaker, history of the cheese, and awards.
And for every box bought, we'll donate a meal to a Trussell Trust food bank on your behalf.
Baron Bigod (250g) - Fen Farm, Suffolk
Baron Bigod is the only traditional raw milk Brie-de-Meaux style cheese produced in the UK, and one of only a handful of its type in the world to be made by the farmer on the farm.
Beneath its nutty, mushroomy rind, Baron Bigod has a smooth, silky golden layer that will often ooze out over the delicate, fresh and citrusy centre.

Beauvale (150g) - Cropwell Bishop Creamery, Nottingham
Beauvale is the only blue of the pack and is really something special, made by Cropwell Bishop Creamery.
Beauvale has been carefully developed to perfection, and like an Italian dolcelatte, it melts in pockets at room temperature. With a soft, spreadable texture and mellow flavour, Beauvale is perfect for both Stilton fans and those who prefer a milder blue.

Nanny McBrie (120g) - Appleby Creamery, Cumbria
At The Cheese Collective, we love a cheese pun, and this has to be one of the best.
Nanny McBrie is a soft, deliciously creamy, mould-ripened goats milk brie. This is a perfect stepping stone for people who are scared of strong goats cheeses. It’s deliciously creamy, melting in the middle towards the end of its life and running across the board.
Appleby Creamery get all of their goats milk from local goats farm, Meaburn Hall, which is run by the McPhee family, with Nanny being a female goat.
Taking inspiration from Emma Thompson’s Nanny McPhee, Nanny McBrie was born.

Keen’s Mature Cheddar (150g) - Keen’s Cheddar, Somerset
The Keen family has been making unpasteurised Keen’s Cheddar since they moved to Moorhayes Farm in 1899. Five generations later, and they are still there and proud to be producing world famous, award-winning British cheddar cheese.
Keen’s Cheddar is made using raw milk and is aged for 18 months, creating a sweet, strong, nutty and moreish cheese that crumbles in the hand and melts in the mouth.
